Part bar, part Thai restaurant, this kooky-cool venue with grand bones is one of the more enduring rites of passage of the Melbourne night. The bar is unbelievably well stocked with fine whiskies, wines and almost 200 craft beers, with over two dozen on tap. The staff also know how to make a serious cocktail.
